    Cool... very rare combination. We have listed others like this here and usually the plates are from the Brisbane plant. I dont think you could order this normally but who knows what the dealer got away with. This sort of demand might of driven the marketing towards the Sandman concept.

    Did it have a seat seperator and a bench seat shift on the floor?

    hi mate, I swapped it as a motorless rolling shell for a motorless HX De Ville roller, complete, in early 2009, so not sure about seat seperator or original shifter, have a stock original 253, ww stromberg, M20 in it now with the 3.08 it arrived with, thanks

    thanks, you dont find HQ s with floors and body as straight as this one is, the guy before the one I got it off stripped it for parts!!!!

    You couldn't get a seat separator with floor shift, and you couldn't get a console in Belmont either outside of XX7 or XV2. So it'd just be buckets with rubber in between. You'd be surprised how many V8 4spd HQ vans there were before XX7 became available. The only thing rare about this one is the metallic paint.
